Our website
Good operation, safety and accessibility
You can rest assured, we offer an easy-to-use website that is safe for each User. We take all reasonable measures necessary to ensure the proper operation, safety and accessibility of our website. However, we can give you no absolute guarantees, and you must regard our measures as an obligation of means.
Any use of the website is always at your own risk. This means that we carry no liability for damages resulting from malfunctions, interruptions, defects or harmful elements to the website, regardless of the existence of a strange cause or force majeure.
We have the right to limit access to our website at any time and/or to suspend it in whole or in part, without prior warning. We do this in principle only where the circumstances justify this, but this is not an absolute condition.
Site content
The content of the website is largely determined by us and we take great care in this content. This means that we take the necessary measures to ensure that our website is as complete, accurate and up to date as possible, even when the content is provided by third parties. The content on our website can always be amended, supplemented or deleted.
However, we can give no guarantees about the quality of the information on our website. It is possible that the information is not complete, sufficiently accurate and/or useful. We are therefore not liable for (direct and indirect) damage the User suffers as a result of the information on our website.
In case certain content on our website is a violation of applicable law and/or a violation of the rights of third parties and/or simply is unacceptable, we ask you to report this to us as soon as possible so that we can take appropriate measures.

Our website contains content that can be downloaded. Each download of our website is always at your own risk. We are not liable and damage as a result of a loss of data or damage to the computer system is the sole responsibility of the User.

We reserve the right to take all the necessary actions that can produce recovery for us and for our Users, both at the judicial and extrajudicial level. The User is personally and solely responsible if his actions and behaviour can cause effective damage to the website and other Users. In that case he must hold SPATIE harmless from any damage claim that follows.
